This is incredible to watch. Moroccans swarm into Spanish controlled Ceuta. Spain have invited this problem by electing socialists into goverment. This is a European emergency.

[Kevin Parlon @Deiscirt]

The (Irish at least) MSM and wannabe MSM are reporting the numbers in the Spanish enclave incursion as "hundreds". They are ideologically motivated liars and distorters of truth pretending to be factual reporters of reality. Look:

[Cllr Gavin Pepper @gavpepper85]

It's quite clear the European Union is getting destroyed by migration.
We as a country need to protect our own borders and close them.
We need to protect our citizens.
This entire situation is dangerous.
European citizens are being put in danger ever single day as more illegals come in.
It's the same principal as a criminal breaking out of Prison they are breaking into out countries.

[Kirk_Loco @Polito_loco]

🚨 Spain is under attack!

Two Spanish districts are now under attack from illegal migrants

Cueta and Milella, are reaping the rewards of diversity tonight with Cueta ablaze and homes in Milella being broken into by hordes of illegal Algerian and Moroccan migrants.

How many of these men will continue forward to Ireland do you think?

@TheMandyGall @rtenews Time to start firing at these Invaders

If Poland can do this on the Belarus border why can't the Spanish

[Mandy Gall @TheMandyGall]

@rtenews do your job and report this....the EU have destroyed everything with mass immigration, the least you can do is inform the People!!

@domdyer70 well maybe chasing a terrified animal to exhaustion then celebrating it being ripped to shreds may not have been the best choice for a birthday celebration - karma is a bitch

@iffabug @Independent_ie Of course they have given many millions to run it, plenty of money to hand out to their corrupt little buddies.

[Michael 🇮🇪🇷🇺🇮🇱 @Michael63676414]

@dollDCFC @Independent_ie Their spending way too much on it. If jp wants he's little game of golf he should be funding it himself.

After Losing One Child, Cork Dad Begs for Treatment Ireland Still Won’t Fund — While €670 Million Goes to Ukraine

A Cork father whose family has already been devastated by a rare genetic disease is publicly pleading with the Irish Government and HSE to fund Skyclarys (omaveloxolone), the first approved treatment shown to slow the progression of Friedreich’s ataxia.

Craig Coady of Buttevant lost his 13-year-old son Rory to the condition in September 2025. His older son, Paudie (16), also has Friedreich’s ataxia and is deteriorating. The progressive neurodegenerative disorder damages the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and often the heart. Paudie, who did not need a wheelchair last year, now faces increasing mobility difficulties and fatigue. Coady has said: “I can’t lose him. He is all I have left.”

Around 200 people in Ireland live with Friedreich’s ataxia. Skyclarys received European Commission approval in February 2024 for patients aged 16 and older. It is available in several other European countries, including France, Germany, Portugal, and Spain, but remains unreimbursed in Ireland.

The HSE received the pricing and reimbursement application in August 2024. The HSE Drugs Group deferred a decision in mid-July 2026 pending further specialist input, with a hoped-for resolution within weeks. Taoiseach Micheál Martin has stated he wants patients to access the drug “as fast as we possibly can” and previously told Coady he would do everything possible to help.

Lauren Shaw, another young Irish woman living with the condition, has also appealed publicly for funding, describing progressive damage to the spinal cord and peripheral nerves.Campaigners and support groups have contrasted the delays with Ireland’s overall support for Ukraine.

Recent government announcements, including a further €125 million package, have brought Ireland’s total assistance to Ukraine since Russia’s encroachment in 2022 to more than €670 million (encompassing humanitarian, stabilisation, energy, and non-lethal military support).

Public posts and commentary, including from groups supporting frontline health staff, have highlighted the Coady and Shaw cases alongside this figure, arguing that Irish patients are being left without a treatment that could slow irreversible decline while substantial public funds are directed overseas.

One widely shared post noted the contrast with “almost 200 more people in Ireland” affected and called on Micheál Martin, Simon Harris, and the Government to prioritise funding for Skyclarys immediately.

Friedreich’s ataxia has no cure. Skyclarys is the first therapy demonstrated in trials to slow disease progression. Families emphasise that every month of delay allows further irreversible loss of function. Coady has indicated the ongoing deferral could force extreme measures, including considering relocation abroad for access.

The HSE maintains that reimbursement decisions follow objective clinical and economic assessment processes, with commercial negotiations ongoing. Families and advocates continue to press for an expedited final decision, stressing that time is critical for those living with the rapidly progressive condition.

This is disgusting.

An Irish kid cant get the the medicine he needs, to treat a condition which killed his brother.

Meanhwhile, the Ghouls in charge of the country ignore his plight, too busy on their knees for the Dictatorship in Kiev.

[Mandy Gall @TheMandyGall]

This outrageous scandal should trigger a General Election...but it won't.

@NoContextHumans It's GAA which stands for Grab All Association. One of the most corrupt organisations in the entire country.

@CarlowWeather Hopefully this miserable weather isn't going to hang around too long and we can get back to the nice warm weather we have been so lucky to have.

O'FLYNN: GOVERNMENT FOUND €125 MILLION IN A DAY. IRISH PATIENTS HAVE WAITED OVER 700 DAYS.

Independent Ireland TD for Cork North Central, Ken O'Flynn, has questioned the Government's spending priorities following the announcement of a further €125 million in bilateral support to Ukraine.

The package, announced in Kyiv on 23 July, brings Ireland's total support to over €670 million when disbursed.

"I want to be clear about what I am saying and what I am not saying. Ukraine is entitled to sympathy and Ireland is entitled to be generous. That is not the argument," Deputy O'Flynn said.

"The argument is about how quickly this State can move when it wants to, and how slowly it moves when the person waiting is Irish and sick.

"€125 million was found and announced in a single day. It took one decision.

"Meanwhile Emily Felix and around 200 other people in this country living with Friedreich's Ataxia have been waiting more than 700 days for a decision on Skyclarys. The drug exists. It was authorised across Europe in February 2024. It is publicly funded in other European countries. On 14 July the HSE Drugs Group declined to recommend it and referred it on to another committee.

"Families with children who have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy are in the same position on Givinostat. Authorised in Europe. Not funded here.

"These families are told there is a process. They are told
there must be scientific input. They are told it takes time.

"No such process applied last Thursday. There was no
committee. There was no referral. There was a photograph and an announcement.

"I am not asking the Government to abandon anyone. I am asking the Government to explain to a woman who says her body is running out of time why the State can move in a day for one cause and not in two years for her."

Deputy O'Flynn said he will be raising the matter directly
with the Minister for Health when the Dáil returns.

We'll likely never know the true total but since 2022, Ireland has spent in the region of €6-7 billion on direct aid and supports for Ukrainians housed here.

It has cost each and every Irish person in the Republic about €1,300 each.

We've been extremely generous - but enough is enough.

All aid and supports needs to come to a complete halt.

[Niall Boylan @Niall_Boylan]

Had a great chat with journalist Larissa Nolan in this week’s weekly round up. We agree Zelenskyy is a “twerp” and a lot of Ukrainians in Ireland are ungrateful and get too much. Listen to show in replies:
